Cyber Evaluations Engineer

About the role

We're hiring Cyber Evaluations Engineers to build and run evaluations that measure cyber-relevant capabilities and safeguard robustness in our models. You will design new evaluations, run per-release robustness testing, and analyze data on jailbreaks and prompt bypasses. You will also design probes to detect cyber abuse in production and help shape the overall detection architecture.

Key responsibilities

• Design and run capability, uplift, and safety evaluations to assess cyber-relevant risk in new models
• Execute per-release safeguard-robustness testing ahead of major model launches
• Analyze evaluation results and communicate findings clearly to the team and stakeholders
• Design, prototype, and tune detection probes for cyber misuse
• Work with the cyber policy team to turn policy lines into a layered, robust abuse-detection architecture, and measure its precision and coverage over time
• Build and maintain internal tooling used to run and score evaluations
• Collaborate with policy and engineering partners to translate evaluation findings into safeguard improvements

Minimum qualifications

• Experience building or running evaluations, benchmarks, or test suites for software or ML systems
• Hands-on cybersecurity experience
• Proficiency in Python
• Strong ability to communicate evaluation results with multiple stakeholders

Preferred qualifications

• Deep offensive-security or security-research experience
• Experience analyzing adversarial or abuse data
• Experience working onsite with government partners
